Crimebuster is probably best known in pop culture thanks to being the cover image for the 1992 album "Evil Empire" from Rage Against the Machine. On the left is the original painting of Crimebuster, done by artist Mel Ramos. On the right is the altered image used for the album cover. Sadly, Squeeks was nowhere to be found in either.
